A COMPANY OF THREE.

The general opinion in Swarfton was
that Anthony Burtonford had quarreled
with his nephew, and that the uncle :
temper and Eric's pride had been both To
blame. But Eric went away from Swarf-
ton, and did not return even when Mrs.
Burtonford. the bankers wife. died
"Eric's in London painting pictures, "
said the gnsSips. and he ought to have
come 10 the funeral, though he is not own
nephew 10 Mrs. Burtonford: but if uncle's
wife is not kinship enough. the world is
coming 10 a pretty state
so Eric was blamed for his omission of
duty. But the banker said nothing He
never mentioned his nephew'S name. and
never allowed any body else tu do ~ in his
hearing II was usually thought, how
/ ever. that John Pawson was an exception
/ 10 this rule, AMI the conjecture was right;
he knew why Eric had been sent away,
and why he did not appear al the funeral.
| Then Mr.. Burtonford died very sudden
ly, and rumor was busy again Eric
would he sure to come this time, and he
would remain AT Swarfton, ami take his
uncle's place al the bank. Picture paint
ing was all very well in its way, but it
was not reasonable 10 suppnsc that it
could ever be permitted 10 interfere with
a bank. Moreover, there was Edith Mark
ham, the late Mrs. Burtonford's niece

If the general expectation We're thwarted.
But the funeral took place, and Eric
was not there.
Then by degrees the truth leaked ont
about the hankt-'s Will. Popular feeling
